ONE-WAY VALVE.

Application led Merch 26, 1925. Serial No. 18,583.

To all whom, it omwer'n: I.

Be it known that I, CAULEY M. BAKKER,

a citizen of the United States, residing at.` Cross Cit in the county of Dixie and' State jhave invented new and useful of Flori a,

of which l for important objects the provision of novel means whereby' the flow is positively limited to one direction. A

A" further object is to provide a valve of the character specified which is of highly simplified construction, durable in use, and which may be readily taken apart for cleaning or for the purpose of renewing the ball or any other part of the valve which may be rendered unfit for further use.

A further object of the invention is to provide a valve capable of withstandingthe errosive and destructive eiect of sulphuric rovlde a` positive shut-oil without the aid o packings and other acids and which will which must be frequently renewed.

Othel` objects and advanta es will be apparent during the course o the following description :f-

lu the accompanying drawing forming a par( of this application and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,

The figure is a sectional view through a valve constructed in accordance with this invention.

ln the drawing, wherein for the purpose.

of illustration is shown preferred embodiment ot my invent-ion`r the numeral ldesignatos an approxiiuatel;r bulbous body consisting of two more or less semibulhous sections 6 and '7, the meeting portions of which are provided with flanges S having aligned openings 9 for the reception of screw bolts or the like by means of which the sections 6 and 7 marine conveniently connected.

Thev drawing illust-rates that the sections 6 and 7 are provided with inlet and outlet tubular portions 10 and 11, respectively, having aligned slotted cage like members 14 and 16 positioned within the sections 6 and 7. The slotted cages 14 and 16 have.

their inner ends beveled in opposite directions and in Contact with each other as indicated :1t/Q6.

rl `he cage 14- is provided at the rear end thereof with an annular seat 26 with' which the ball valve 27 is adapted to co-act to establish a liuid tight joint. That is to say, when the ball valve 27 is engaged with the annular seat v26, ythe return of any fluid through the valve is positively cut o. Particular attention is directed to the fact that the rear portion of the cage 14 is reduced in internal diameter to provide a rounded seat of .a ver generous area. for engagement l by the ball 2 When the ball 27 is engaged with the rounded seat 26 it is positively held against lateral movement b fluid pressure. The fluid, most likely aci enters byvwa of the tubular portion 10 from a supply tan and unseats the ball'27 whereupon the ball moves to the full line position illustrated in the drawings and engages an annular shoulder 30 wherebythe ball is held approximately at the meetin point of the cages 14 and 16. The shoul er 30 may4 be welded or threaded in the cage 16 or if foundpractical may be formed integral with the cage 16. The aeidor the fluid may now iow through -thi"slot in the cage 14 and into' and through the semi-bulbous sections 6 and 7. The acid or. other fluid which enters the semi-bulbous sections 6 and 7 may make `its exit through the slot 35 in the section 16 and by Way of theoutlet member 11. Back ressure will result in the return of the vallve -27-to its seat 26, so as to bring about a one way movement of the fluid. I Having thus described the invention what is claimed isz- 1. A one 'Way valve comprising a pair of semi-bulbous sections having internal slotted cages of tubular formation arranged in end to cud relation and having their inner ends beveled in opposite directions and in Contact with each other whereby the cages are held in alignment, lone of said cages being reduced internally at one. end to form an annular seat, and a ball valve positioned withiu said cages and'adapted for engaging said seat.

semi-bulbous sections having internal slotted cages arranged in end to end relation and having their inner ends beveled in opposite directions and in contact with each other,

2. A one way valve comprising a pair of by said ball valve whereby to limit the movement of the ball valve.

3. A one Way valve comprising a pair of semi-bulbous sections having internal cages arranged in end to end relation and having their innerends beveled in opposite directions and in contact- With each other, one of said cages being provided with an annulaisea-t, and a ball valve positioned within said cages and adapted for engaging said seat` the other cage being provided with an annular shoulder adopted for engagement by said ball valve whereby to limit the movement of the ball valve, seid cages beingprovided at opposite sides of said shoulder with slots establishing communication between the interior of the cages and the interior of the semi-bulbous sections whereby fluid may flow aroundathelball valve when the ball valve is unseated. l
